Our Services
PINNACLE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, INC.
We provide consistent, superior, comprehensive business management services.
This is how we serve you, our clients, each and every month:
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. customizes business programs for each client. Services include but are not limited to, collecting income and paying bills, real estate purchases, tour accounting, royalty and production audits and acquiring revenue producing assets. Under the clients’ direction, we monitor the day-to-day collection of anticipated revenues. We also facilitate the daily reviewing, scheduling and payment of bills and other expenditures on behalf of our clients. For both revenues and expenses, we maintain daily, weekly and monthly reports to provide our clients with up-to-date information, so they can monitor their financial position at anytime.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
We handle a wide range of financial transactions—from typical banking activities to developing wealth-building investment programs.
TOUR ACCOUNTING
For our clients who are engaged in US and foreign tours, we provide assistance in tour budgeting and financial management, to assure tour success, including the selection of vendors to provide merchandising, transportation, staging, sound, lights, tour insurance coverage, and any other services needed. Additionally, we coordinate the collection of income and disburse tour expenses, including payroll. Our staff accompanies tours, when necessary, to assist in settlements with promoters and foreign tax authorities.
PRODUCTION ACCOUNTING
Handling the many business details associated with the motion picture or television production can be a difficult task. Controlling costs, monitoring production budgets, and quickly discovering potential cost overruns, requires time, care and above all expertise. At Pinnacle Business Management, Inc., before production actually begins, we meet and work closely with producers, directors, financiers, and production executives to establish realistic production cost goals. We create a system to maintain accurate production cost records to keep clients aware of all expenses during the entire process. Within hours after completion of a key production stage, we generate complete and comprehensive reports, including cost-to-estimate analysis. Our state-of-the-art computer systems also produce the necessary payroll reports for guild, union, tax authorities and any other involved parties.
TAX CONSULTING
We help clients keep what they earn by minimizing their tax liability through careful tax planning. Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. has a breadth of experience in individual, corporate and partnership taxation on the federal, state and local level. Our Tax Department has experienced professionals with extensive training and background in taxation. They are aware of the unique tax problems facing entertainers and know how to use this uniqueness to the client's advantage. We prepare all tax returns for our clients and will represent them when necessary before the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing agencies. Our tax department, working closely with other members of our client’s professional team, structures their company to take full advantage off all tax opportunities.
RETIREMENT PLANNING
We emphasize the importance of financial security not just for today, but for a lifetime. We manage assets, so our clients have the funds and flexibility to retire or pursue other ventures whenever they’re ready to make the change.
ESTATE PLANNING
Our estate specialists make sure clients can transfer wealth to their families without burdensome tax and legal complications by advising clients about wills, trusts and other estate tools.
